Overview
What you will study
The UK's population is ageing, and this older population is holding an ever increasing percentage of national assets and household spend. So, why do so few organisations - public, private and charitable - not design for what older adults want, rather than what they perceive them to need?
The Designing for an Ageing Population course offered by Royal College of Art aims to provide a unique insight into the ageing marketplace, looking at how to design products, services and experiences that are not limited by the pervasive medical discourse of ageing as decline, frailty and burden.
You will come away from this course with:
- a deep insight of the ageing economy
- an understanding of design thinking and age inclusive design
- a framework to understanding the innovation process
- a tool to evaluate good and bad design
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- what drives behaviour and purchase motivation
- the basics of action psychology
- how design has an important role to play in creating healthier, happier lives for all of us as we age
- how to apply innovation methodology and frameworks to create better customer products, services and experiences
- real world applications of innovation and how it is transforming organisations
- creative design techniques
